A brand new day... a brand new me!

About Me


Painted by my incredibly talented friend, Kelly Haigh.
Singer/Songwriter Candi Carpenter knew at an early age that she wanted to be in the music business. As a child, she toured and performed with her family's gospel band. She moved to Nashville at the early age of 14, and has accomplished many achievements in a short period of time. Candi spent four years touring with multiple CMA award winner and Grand Ole Opry star, Jack Greene while under L&L Management. She has also shared the stage with legends such as Loretta Lynn, Porter Wagoner, Mel Tillis, Little Jimmy Dickens, Bill Anderson, and Vince Gill. Candi made a cameo appearance in the Alan Jackson music video for "Too Much of a Good Thing," and has appeared on many television and radio programs. Last Christmas Eve, Candi sang the National Anthem at the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens game in front of 65,000 people, live on CBS. She has recently co-written songs with hit writers such as Sam Tate, Bill Labounty, Beckie Foster, Bobby Tomberlin, Mark Narmore, John McElroy, and Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers. She has also been in the studio recording vocals on new songs written by Loretta Lynn and Brenda Lee. This past year, Candi has performed at the Bluebird Cafe, Swallow at the Hollow, and many other songwriting venues.

Mr. Eddy Arnold's office wasn't fancy.  It was a homey, comfortable place, filled with pictures, memorabilia, and furniture that hadn't changed since the 70's.  It wasn't in a show...
